Producers from CBS News’ Morning series “3 Meals” visited Fenders Diner in Cornelia, Georgia, to sit down and talk with people in the community about President Trumps’ first 100 days. CBS Mornings’ “Three Meals” is a recurring series that delves into the perspectives of American voters by sharing conversations over breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The format aims to capture candid, grassroots insights into the political and social issues shaping communities across the country.
Owner of Fenders Diner Jay Reeder enjoyed the opportunity to show the nation what a wonderful area we live in. “People all over the country will get to see what it’s like to live in a friendly small town like ours. It’s super cool that they picked Habersham to show everyone.”
Each segment is set in a different state, often focusing on battleground regions or areas with evolving political dynamics. Correspondents sit down with diverse groups of voters to discuss topics such as abortion rights, healthcare, immigration, the economy, and local elections. The series has featured conversations in states like Florida, Texas, North Carolina, Nevada, Wisconsin, Virginia, and Delaware.
The team of 4 from CBS talked with people as they enjoyed their dinner, never invasively, but respectfully having a dialogue about the future of America. Such questions as, “Are you happy with the way the country is going? What are your thoughts on President’s Trumps first 100 days? How are the decisions impacting you economically? Do you agree with President Trumps policies?”
The opinions were mixed as people talked freely about their lives, their families, their wallets, and their hopes for the future of America. The consensus through out the restaurant was however how really good the food was. A table of 8 expressed, “We didn’t come tonight because CBS was here, we came because we love the food.”
So, there you have it.
This episode will air on April 30th on CBS Morning News.
